> MUFG analyst Lloyd Chan said high US interest rates would continue to weigh on Asian currencies with low yields, including the Thai baht. The article also cited concerns about Thailand's uneven growth and a dollar-baht rate of 33.36, after it had reached 33.48 earlier in the week, its highest since May 2025.
